Louis C.K. Explains His Scalping Policy Is Working

by | July 3rd, 2012

When Louis decided to sell the tickets for his next tour directly through his website, preventing scalping was a big motivating factor. He warned people that if they try to sell tickets above the original price, they'd be deactivated. And it has worked. He told Laughspin:

I’m doing 67 shows on this tour and we’ve sold 135,600  tickets to those shows after one week on sale.

In addition to the tour, I’m doing two shows in one city that are on sale through traditional ticketing.*

So as a comparison…

There are 1100 tickets available on stubhub alone for those two  traditionally ticketed shows out of 4,400 available ( Almost exactly [...]

Take a Stroll Around 'Rushmore's' Campus

by | June 11th, 2012

Houston: The Rushmore School  Wes Anderson's sets tend to look real but not. They're as if the universe was meticulously put together by a deity who only wore vintage seersucker suits and plaid scarves. (I know what you're thinking: Assuming that Gods have timeless existences, how can anything be vintage? Well, this God is the type of guy who would make the point of telling you things were vintage, regardless. Yeah, it's kind of a d-bag move.) That's why the above tour of the high school from Rushmore is so edifying. You get to see how Wes Anderson Wes Ansersonizes a place. (It's mostly [...]

Chris Gethard Makes it to Bonnaroo Alive, Part 2

by | June 26th, 2012

As we mentioned a few weeks ago, Chris Gethard isn't dead. He made it to Bonnaroo to do his Chris Gethard thing. However, it's important you see for yourself. When we last saw Gethard, he was in Denver watching a tee ball game. The next video finds Chris going completely rogue. No cameraman, no Bananaman, just him, hitchhiking. We already know he isn't dead but if he were going to die, it would be here. Then watch the final videos through his triumphant Bonnaroo set.

Chris Gethard Makes it to Bonnaroo Alive, Part 1

by | June 8th, 2012

Our woman at the festival informs us that Chris Gethard killed it last night at Bonnaroo, which means he got there alive! As the video above proclaimed, Chris Gethard set out to get from Los Angeles to Bonnaroo in Manchester, Tennessee without a phone or any money. The videos he shot along the way range from hilarious to tense to heartwarming to frightening. Here are the first 16, which take him from his preparatory visit with his Mom to a little league game in Denver.

Yeti Your Way Through the 'Late Night with Jimmy Fallon' Studio

by | May 29th, 2012

Doesn't work seem supes boring after a lovely long weekend? Well, Jimmy Fallon, a yeti, and the Late Night team have found a way to kill at least 25 minutes of your day. From Jimmy's stained glass filled office to pipes Jim Henson once painted when he arrived early for a TV appearance to a yeti, it's a tour that keeps on touring. You might have noticed I mentioned the existence of a yeti multiple times in this post and that's because there is a lot of yeti activity. He doesn't seem to be dangerous as much as a bit nosey. He has inspired me to write a one-act [...]
